In case you missed it, there was a little football match on last night between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
While you may not have missed the football, you may well have missed the pitch invaders who decided to jump the barriers and run on to the grass, mainly disrupting the game but also providing a few stifled giggles.
While most streakers are doing it for the thrill of it (is that a thing?), last night one woman had an agenda, which was exposed for everyone to see.
It turned out, the pitch invader was running the gauntlet to get some free advertising for her boyfriend’s adult site. And it’s obviously worked because here I am writing about it.
Wearing a black swimsuit-type outfit, the woman – Kinsey Wolanski – jumped over the paid-for advertising boards, ran on the pitch and received some free publicity instead. I’m sure there’s some business term for leapfrogging your competitors.
Across her chest were the words ‘Vitaly Uncensored’ – a site set up by her boyfriend Vitaly Zdorovetskiy.
Zdorovetskiy himself has been known to invade pitches himself, having previously run across the pitch at the 2014 World Cup Final with the words ‘natural born prankster’ across his chest, as MailOnline reports.
This time, however, it seems he let his girlfriend have a go, who ran on the pitch while Liverpool were 1-0 up. The players looked understandably bemused as play had to be stopped by the referee.
Zdorovetskiy also runs a popular YouTube channel called Vitaly Uncensored, where he posts similar pranks under the name VitalyzdTv.
According to Apex Marketing Group Analytics, Vitaly Uncensored gained around $3.97 million in advertising thanks to Kinsey’s short sprint up the field.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before security had escorted Kinsey off the pitch and play could resume. Not sure she could’ve run much further in that outfit anyway, it did look a tad restrictive.
